As Soon as I get my STATE License (I thought having my NREMT meant Ididn't have to have the state and was corrected today when the Chief called me) I get to join the FD! FINALLY

I'm SO Excited. He's already signed me up for the DRIVER class so I can get legal to Drive the trucks and ambulances and I'll be joining the EMT-B class in January. Need Oxygen, I'm SO excited...now the real work begins ~ gotta get my strength and endurance up so I don't let them or myself down...and then for the FF classes as soon as they find one close enough...and the wild land classes.... and ~ OH BOY

I joined the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) last November and in our rural area they have certified me to perform Traffic Control, change out FF airpacks and refill them, perform Advanced Field Operations and Urban Search and Rescue, and Wild Land search and REscue, set up LZ's, refil oxygen tanks, Pipeline Emergencies response and dAmmage Prevention. I've missed our cribbing class, but will be caught up to speed ASAP. Not sure what our next class is on the 6th, but May 13 we're being trained as Weather Spotters.

Sorry I just can hardly stand the wait or contain my excitement and wanted to share part of why I've not been here lately.

Hope you have a TERRIFIC Easter holiday . As Always...Be SAfe and stay in touch.
